Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:

Your saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is your arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received its frame,
From everlasting you are God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Soon bears us all away;
We fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Still be our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home!

And my Savior, ever liveth!
Knowing this, my confidence
Rests upon the hope it giveth,
Though the night of death be fraught
Still with many an anxious thought.
2 Jesus, my redeemer, lives;
I, too, unto life shall waken.
He will bring me where he is;
Shall my courage, then, be shaken?
Shall I fear, or could the head
Rise and leave his members dead?
3 No, too closely am I bound
Unto him by hope forever;
Faith's strong hand the rock has found,
Grasped it, and will leave it never;
Even death now cannot part
From its Lord the trusting heart.
4 I am flesh and must return
Unto dust, whence I am taken;
But by faith I now discern
That from death I shall awaken,
With my Savior to abide
In his glory, at his side.
5 Then these eyes my Lord will know,
My redeemer and my brother;
In his love my soul will glow -
I myself, and not another!
Then the weakness I feel here
Will forever disappear.
6 Then take comfort and rejoice,
For his members Christ will cherish.
Fear not, they will hear his voice;
Dying, they will never perish;
For the very grave is stirred
When the trumpet's blast is heard.
7 Oh, then, draw away your hearts
From earth's pleasures base and hollow.
Strive to share what he imparts
While you here his footsteps follow.
As you now still wait to rise,
Fix your hearts beyond the skies! Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #344 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Hope; Christian Hope Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
Of him who died upon the cross.
The sinner's hope let all deride;
For this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see,
In shining letters, "God is love."
He bears our sins upon the tree;
He brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross! It takes our guilt away;
It holds the fainting spirit up;
It cheers with hope the gloomy day
And sweetens ev'ry bitter cup.
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
And nerves the feeble arm for fight;
It takes its terror from the grave
And gilds the bed of death with light;
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
The measure and the pledge of love,
The sinner's refuge here below,
The angels' theme in heav'n above.

grants to us his gifts of love;
in his will our souls find pleasure,

for the gift of Christ his Son:
Hear Christ's call

Simply to thy cross I cling.
Naked, come to thee for dress;
Helpless, look to thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

When mine eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,

Before whose face clouds never frown,

For nothing there can fade or die;

And like an ocean, joy o’erflows,
And with immortal mercy glows

Which mortal ear has never heard,
Nor mortal vision shared,
Which never entered mortal thought,
In mortal dreams was never sought,

And calms the heart's unrest;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul
And to the weary, rest.

My shield and hiding place;
My never-failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace.

Although with sin defiled.
The devil charges me in vain,
And I am owned a child.

My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my way, my end,
Accept the praise I bring.

How cold my warmest thought;
But when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.

With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER

With milk and honey blest,
Beneath your contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed.

What social joys are there,
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
Conjubilant with song
And bright with many an angel
And all the martyr throng.
The prince is ever in them;
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David,
And there, from care released,
The shout of those who triumph,
The song of those who feast.
And they, who with their leader
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
4 Oh, sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
Oh, sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!
In mercy, Jesus, bring us
To that dear land of rest!
You are, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.
